While some biological risk factors like age and sex are non-modifiable, others can be managed or altered to reduce disease risk:
- Genetic Counseling: Individuals with a family history of certain genetic conditions can benefit from genetic counseling to understand their risk and take preventive measures. - Hormonal Therapy: Hormonal imbalances can often be treated with medication, thereby reducing the risk of hormone-related diseases. - Immunization: Vaccination can modify immune status and reduce the risk of certain infectious diseases.
